Play Details: A rousing, rowdy Southern fairytale from the Pulitzer Prize winning author of Driving Miss Daisy! Set in 18th-century Mississippi, the show follows Jamie Lockhart, a rascally robber of the woods, as he courts Rosamund, the only daughter of the richest planter in the country. The proceedings go awry, however, thanks to a case of double-mistaken identity. Throw in an evil stepmother who’s intent on Rosamund’s demise, her pea-brained henchman and a hostile talking head-in-a-trunk, and you have a rollicking country romp.

“The Robber Bridegroom is heavy on the twang, setting the plot to rambunctious rhythms of a hootenanny, where tall tales are swapped and party drinks come in jugs.” — The New York Times
